"Morgan! What the hell are you wearing?!" my sister screamed as I pulled open the door to Das Boot. "It's almost midnight and you're going out wearing a NIGHTGOWN?!"
"Geez Mary K! Can you talk any louder? Mom and Dad will wake up. Plus its not a nightgown, it's a shift.there's a difference." I explained.
"Fine. Whatever. Just don't complain to me when you get pneumonia!" she closed the front door lightly, not making a sound.
I traced some sigils in the air so that my parents wouldn't hear me pull out of the driveway.
I arrived at the beach 15 minutes before midnight. I recognized the members of Kithic's car's as I parked Das Boot in the lot. It's nice to know that I have a support group here tonight. Doing this ritual (whatever you wanna call it) was nerve wrecking. Even though Eoife said that nothing could come inside my circle and survive.I still had my doubts. Shuddering I walked up the beach to where Kithic were sitting.
Everyone was sitting around; having quiet conversations here and there. I looked around and noticed that everyone was here. My eyes wondered to a tall blond guy standing, his back to me. Hunter. Goddess I totally forget about what happened last night. Okay.I have to keep my mind clear and focused. "Don't think about Hunter, Morgan" I convinced myself.
"Morgan! Aren't you cold?! It's below freezing and we're in the freaking beach!" Bree asked, bewildered. Fourteen pairs of eyes focused on me. I could feel my cheeks turn red from embarrassment. My self-consciousness kicked in and I crossed my arms across my chest.
" I don't know" I shrugged. My eyes slowly drifted back to the tall blond. He lifted his head slightly, sensing that I was nearby. Usually, Hunter would turn around and greet me with a big, luscious kiss, but times are different. How I wish they weren't, I could use the comfort right now.
"Hi Eiofe, Hunter." I said casually. I didn't even realize that I walked over to them until I spoke. I must really be dazed, or maybe it's the nerves.
"Morgan, Darling, you're just right in time. How are you feeling?" she asked, nervously. I looked at Hunter for comfort, but all I found was emptiness, his eyes showed no emotions.
"A little anxious, but I'm alright." I said, disappointed by Hunter's reaction.
"Its 12 o'clock. Its time to begin." Hunter's tone was cold, not trace of concern or nerves like it was before. He spun around and walked toward the group, not saying anything to me.
I was ready to cry. I know that I said some pretty nasty things to Hunter, and even done some bad shit, but I still needed to know he cares. Even just a little, specially now.
Everyone started to head for the cliff that overlooked the beach. I lagged behind the group, trying to empty my thoughts, and sort out any disturbing feelings I had.
"Morgan," I looked up and saw that we had stopped. Eoife was looking at me, a worried expression on her face, "Its time to start."
Behind the group, I saw some kind of light. The group parted, dividing in half, as I walked to the middle. My coven looked at me with concern on their face. Eoife, who was right beside me, took my hand and led me to a big bon fire on top of the cliff. There was a huge circle made of 12 white rocks. In the middle, the fire crackled and danced.
" Are you ready?" Eoife asked for the last time. Slowly, I nodded my head. "Don't worry dear. These barriers that you will call will protect you. Nothing can pass those barriers and survive. You will be the only one inside. You and the Goddess. Good Luck my dear." She hugged me and led me inside the circle. Hunter then closed the circle with another large white stone. 13 stones. In a way I kind of thought of them as the members of Kithic, watching me, comforting me. I took my final look at Hunter, but he was blank. Nothing at all. No emotions what so ever.
I looked around. A cup of water, incense, and a cup of salt were laid out near the fire. Slowly, I kneeled down picking up the cup with water. For a minute, I hesitated, but finally started the ceremony.
I started my ritual, just as I would with a regular one. After finishing the casting of the circle, I recited the protection spell calling for the protection of the dragon.
~* By the Dragon's light Lend your might By powers of three I conjure thee To protect me So mote it be! *~
I dipped my fingers in the water and sprinkled it in the direction of the west.
~* Hail to the Guardians of Watchtower of the West, Zephyrus, to spirit and intuition- Hear Me! *~
Very quickly, a huge giant wave formed from the distance. The water swelled from the beach and surged around me. Enclosing me in it's watery wall. I was dazed in its beauty.
I picked up the salt and started sprinkling it toward the north.
~* Hail to the Guardians of Watchtower of the North, Boreas, to spirit of Mother and Earth- Hear Me! *~
Almost instantly, the earth started to rumble from beneath me, like an earthquake. It caught me of guard, and I staggered back a little. The ground around the circle started to split, and it walled around me, just like the water. The crashing of the water against the wall of rocky earth was loud to my ear. I closed my eyes for a minute and then continued to call on the guardians.
I picked up the incense and waved it toward the east.
~* Hail to the Guardian of Watchtower of the East, Eurus, to spirits of air and invention- Hear Me! *~
A gentle breeze started to form at my east. By the time it got to me, it was a strong gust of wind, blowing my hair to my face. Like the others, the blast of roaring wind started to circle between the earth barrier and me. I had all three now. Wind was the first, then the earth, then the wind. I knew the last one would be the strongest of them all.
I looked deep into the middle of the fire, and called on my final protection.
~* Hail to the Guardian of Watchtower of the South, Notus, to spirit of fire and feeling- Hear Me! *~
The fire in front of me started to dance and cackle like crazy. From the center, thin lines of fire started to run in all direction. It started to spread into a circle around the rocks. It grew bigger and roared louder. I felt so safe inside. I knew no one could get me.
I sat down in front of the bonfire. I closed my eyes and started on my meditation. After awhile, I couldn't hear the crashing and crackling anymore. I asked for the guidance of the Goddess, my mother, and the Riordans before her.
I started to feel dizzy.
******************************************
"Hello Morgan" they said.
"Hello" I replied. "Who are you?" I looked at the three figures before me. One was a child; another was my mother, then the last. The last was indescribable. She was pure. Light, incandescent, imperial, everything beautiful can be described about her.
"She is the past," she pointed to my mother. "The future." She reached for the child's hand and the child held it tightly. "And I am the forever."
In that instant I knew that she was the Goddess. Looking at the three of them reminded me of the three phases of womanhood. Maiden, Mother, and Crone.
"I came looking for guidance. I feel lost. Nothing make sense anymore." I cried.
"We know," they said in unison. "You are destined for greatness Morgan." My mother said. "You are part of the goddess, reborn," she explained.
"I don't understand." I whimpered.
"You will, in due time."
"My future lies in your hand" the little girl said in a singsong tone.
"Who are you? Will you be my daughter?" I asked, confused.
"You'll find out, in due time." She smiled.
"My father. Ciaran. He wants to do us harm." A shudder shook me.
"Your father..."
In that instant, a dark cloud fell upon me. I gasped for breath, but inhaled thick smoke instead. My head started to pound. I can hear his laughter inside my head.
"Tsk Tsk Daughter. You have disappointed me once again." He laughed. It was wickedness and darkness all at the same time. "I'm much stronger than you all think. This is all child's play." He laughed again.
My brain was lacking oxygen. I was light-headed. I couldn't breath. I'm going to die. A vision of Hunter flashed in my mind then..
Everything went black.
**********************************************
"Morgan! Wake up Morgan!!!" Bree was screaming in my ear. I gradually lifted my head to look around. Bree, Robbie, and Alisa were by my side, a worried look on their face.
"What happened?" I asked, feebly. "Where am I?"
"Don't you remember?"
"Um.Ciaran. He got into my head while I was meditating." I explained. "Everything was dark. There was smoke and." I coughed. "How did you guys get me out? How did you get in the circle?"
"You were down on the ground and ." Alisa's lips start to tremble. "Hunter said you were in trouble, so he broke through all the barriers. OMG, Hunter!" she was hysterically crying now.
"Why? What happened to Hunter?" I got up to look for Hunter, not bothering with the pain in my head. I was getting really worried now, my heart was pounding and my head was spinning.
I ran toward the rest of Kithic. Everything was in slow motion. I looked down at the sprawled body in the sand. His golden blond hair was damp and muddy. His shirt was singe. His beautiful cheeks were covered with ash and soot. His once red lips were now purple. I looked down at Hunter and he was pale. I dropped down on my knees and took hold on Hunter's body. I was rocking him back in forth while I cried.
Eoife, who was tending to Hunter, looked at me with sadness in her eyes.
"Morgan, we don't know what happened. I'm sorry." She cried. "The barriers. They were too strong. I don't know how he got through.."
I looked at the once beautiful body on the ground. The body of my love, my other half, was lying on the sand.
"HUNTER!! NO HUNTER. DON'T LEAVE ME!" I screamed, cradling my love's cold body...
